Chapter 3 Installing the Router
Using Flash Memory Cards in the RP
Removing the Flash Memory Card from an RP
To remove a Flash memory card, follow these steps:
Step 1 Press the appropriate ejector button until the card is free of the connector at the back of the slot.
Step 2 Pull the card from the slot and place it in an antistatic sack to protect it from ESD damage.
The Flash memory card is keyed for proper insertion. The ejector button will not pop out unless the card is inserted correctly. Part of the card remains outside the slot even when the card is properly seated. Do not attempt to force the card deeper into the slot after the ejector button pops out.
Formatting a Flash Memory Card
The Flash memory card that shipped with your router contains the default Cisco IOS software image you need to boot your router.
Warning This procedure erases all information on a Flash memory card. To prevent the loss of important data that might be stored on a Flash memory card, proceed carefully.
If you want to save the data on a Flash memory card, copy the data to a server before you format the card. In some cases, you might need to insert a new Flash memory card and copy images or backup configuration files to the card. Before you can use a new Flash memory card, you must format it. Use only Type I or Type II Flash memory cards.
Caution The following formatting procedure presumes you have already booted your router.
